How was your qualifying run? "We were loose
and had a lot of down force. I'm glad it's a top-10 start. But, we were
really, really loose -- extremely loose. That's how you have to be at the
race track, that's how we have to be to be in good race trim. We'll see
what happens."

How does the Busch car different from the Cup car? "They
aren't that different, they are similar cars. There are definitely some
differences; the Busch car has a lot less power and more down force. You
definitely drive them different. Braun Ra cing has done a good job,
especially with these bigger tracks, Toyota has a great package and having
Fort McDowell Resorts on the car definitely helps."

How do the impound races
affect how you approach qualifying and racing tomorrow evening? "Impound
races always present a struggle in qualifying -- you just find a good race
set-up and just cross your fingers to how good you do in qualifying. You
make all the changes you can to tighten up and hope for the best. Our main
concern is the race tomorrow and I think we'll be pretty good."

How was your qualifying run? "It was okay.
It was a lot better than what we did in practice. Jerry Baxter (crew
chief) and the guys did a really great job and my Toyota horsepower never
hurts any. We weren't even close to that in practice, so I'm
pretty happy with that. Hopefully that will hold on for a top-10 and
give us a chance for a good pit position."

How does the heat affect
you? "It's hot. The heat does bother you, but what are you
going to do?"

How was your qualifying run? "We
didn't qualify as well as we wanted to. The guys have been fighting the
car all day. Our Camry has been running strong the last few races and
we'll go get them tomorrow."
